The troubles in Ireland are not new. They have taken a heavy
toll in lives and, perhaps more importantly, in psychological
health. From testing and interviews with the children, women, and
men of Northern Ireland beginning in 1969, Fields has developed a
case study of the long-term effects of stress on a population. She
identifies certain social control mechanisms which produce a
mixture of chaos and docility in the troubled North and argues that
England has established these in order to destroy the identity of
the people--a process of "psychological genocide."
This volume applies social-psychological theory to a concrete
and ongoing situation in a way that is illuminating for the general
reader and for the specialist. Fields has done what might appear
obvious: to find out the effects of stress on a population by going
to that population and observing what their lives are like. The
remarkable fact is that until now, no one has done so.
